Emergency crews rescued a person from the Sacramento River in Redding after their watercraft left them stranded on the water.

Shasta County Sheriff's Boating Safety Unit rescued Sid Cormier, of Redding, on Sunday afternoon after he jumped from his stalled watercraft. He was found hanging on to bushes in the water north of the Cypress Avenue Bridge, according to Deputy Gary Van Dyne.

Cormier was uninjured and deputies found his watercraft. Both were returned to Park Marina, where Cormier's family was waiting, said Van Dyne.
